Are the political wranglings and brash anti-commercialism of the Free Software Foundation helping to dig the GPL's grave? Long-time free software advocate William Hurley, better known as "whurley," argues to the affirmative in a blog post titled "The Death Of A Software License."
In his post, whurley quotes Apache Software Foundation chair and Google engineering manager Greg Stein as saying that today's developers really like permissive licenses. In fact, that's what they demand, and that's exactly the opposite direction the GPL is moving in.
